BENNIE sorry to bother you so much on this but I have read up a bit on reference material I got hold of. It seems that if you add the GVM of your vehicle and GVM of trailer and add them together and this exceeds >3500kg, then you need an EC license. The two GVM's add to what they call GCM - Gross Combination Mass. Is this correct?

As I understand it...
If you tow any trailer over 750kg you need an "EC1" license. But I am confused because I've been told this but to tow a caravan you need a "EB" license???

Maybe someone here knows the specifics.

Bennie I tow with a 2.5 diesel Navara and it's fantastic
there is also an uprated 2.5 diesel as well
but that 3.0 L would be perfect

Thanks! I've never really been a Nissan fan but the Navara is looking good to me. Sad thing is I'll be buying it just to be legal because I really like my Hilux. That said, I have never even looked inside the Navara, perhaps I'll organise a test drive.

Thanks again.

Bennie - be a man and get a 200 series cruiser! Man I love those cars.

I guess you could get a Navarra and rip off the Nissan badge?

I don't understand why the Hiluxes are rated so low.

One thing I love about mine is the auto - extra torque and unbeatable for beach work.

I agree it would only be fitting to pull the new rig in style 200 series style.....only problem with that is the ridiculous price, imagine how many times we could get stopped in our toyota and tritons and pay the fine for the price of the 200series...mind you I would buy one in a heart beat!!

and auto has to be the way to go for the beach work no doubt!!

Gees, I wouldn't hesitate to drive that thing!

HOWEVER, the dollars have run out!  :sadd

Seen some really nice second hand Land rover 4's around. Just tighten all the bolts and should be better than off the showroom floor!

Nee sies Bennie, don't ruin all the hard work by adding a Landy!

The cruiser (even the station wagon model) is actuallly comparable to the Hilux in price.

I'm probably wrong, but that doesn't sound right to me?

Anyway, back to the topic, is your bakkie struggling or is it the legal thing?

It's a legal thing. Bakkie has plenty power! But I do think the bakkie is too light in the ass!

Try sticking 4 bags of cement on the back or a 200l water tank.  If all else fails I can tow you with my baby....
